Why study Physical Education?
AS/A2 Physical Education provides you with the opportunity to study both in and out of the classroom. There will be a one hour practical session each week where you will develop your skills in two activities. The rest of the time will be classroom-based but, wherever possible, theory will always be related to sporting situations.
